  • "While a civil engineer and government surveyor of public lands the author became familiar with the workings of the land and Indian bureaus of the interior department in Washington, D. C., and incidentally the other offices of general, state and territorial control, and realizing the impossibility of doing conscientious work while associated with the politicians who filled most of the places, in 1873 the field of medicine was substituted, and after graduation a specialty was made of nervous and mental disease. In order to further such studies the author secured a position as pathologist to the Chicago County Insane Asylum, and during three years' service there and later as superintendent of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane he discovered that the politics controlling such places was inexpressibly worse than what he found elsewhere. As reform endeavors availed nothing, a determination was made to discover the reasons for the too frequent brutalities in public charity institutions, and the apathy of citizens concerning them. The studies expanded into this volume, passing far beyond their original bounds, but rigidly confined to this world, with only incidental mention of anything beyond; though by inference the earth is but a small portion of the universe. Hallam, in the preface to his Literature of Europe, remarks that: "An author who waits till all requisite materials are accumulated to his hands is but watching the stream that will run on forever and though I am fully sensible that I could have much improved what is now offered to the public by keeping it back for a longer time, I should but then have had to lament the impossibility of exhausting my subject." The author finds encouragement In thinking with Carlyle, that: "If a book comes from the heart it will contrive to reach other hearts. All art and author-craft are of small account to this"--Preface.
